Collection: The first collection consists of shirt dresses, skirts and silk scarves. The dresses come in Dutch-wax-printed fabrics and uniquely designed and printed Italian cotton poplin. The skirts are made from the same cotton poplin, and the scarves are 100 per cent Italian silk.
USP: Embodying the Kenyan sensibility with its colours and patterns, the brand is a homage to the country and an upscale nod to its betterment. Poised to empower women in Kenya by creating jobs for skilled artisans and supporting their training, it donates a portion of the profits from finished accessories made in Italy to support communities where the brands' artisans live and work.
